Gulf Trip For Keir Starmer

The Prime Minister Keir Starmer is off to the Gulf today on a diplomatic mission to talk to leaders about the ceasefire agreement. The whole idea is to make diplomatic efforts to make sure the Strait of Hormuz gets reopened and is sustained. Also being discussed is getting a lasting resolution to the Iran war and protecting the UK.

The Prime Minister is travelling to the Gulf today to meet with Gulf partners and discuss diplomatic efforts to support and uphold the ceasefire, bringing about a lasting resolution to the conflict and protecting the UK and global economies from further threats. His talks will include efforts to restore freedom to the Strait of Hormuz since the ceasefire.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said:

I welcome the ceasefire agreement reached overnight, which will bring a moment of relief to the region and the world. 

Together with our partners, we must do all we can to support and sustain this ceasefire, turn it into a lasting agreement, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The Prime Minister’s travel follows the UK-convened meeting last week of more than 40 countries to begin work on a viable plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz when the fighting subsides, and a subsequent military planning meeting hosted by the UK on Tuesday to further advance this work. 

Work will now continue at pace in light of the ceasefire, and the Prime Minister is expected to discuss this further in meetings with leaders in the region.

The Prime Minister’s first stop will be to thank the UK and local personnel who have bravely put their lives at risk in the defence of our people, our interests and those of our allies. 

The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that UK personnel have intercepted more than 110 drone attacks in the region, and the RAF have conducted more than 1600 hours of defensive operations.

The Prime Minister will also pay tribute to the work of our partners in the Gulf, whose armed forces have protected the hundreds of thousands of UK nationals living in the region in the face of Iran’s brutal aggression.

But why is he there? Is he looking for a pat on the back? A pat on the back from a PM that has limited military, so much so that we sent a frigate to the Med that’s now broken down. He wants to be the man who brought peace to the Gulf, but dream on, Keir. He waits in the shadows and appears like a clown, which is exactly what he is.

Again, we have a pat on the back PM that’s in no way his doing. And again, the PM is wasting money travelling all over the world.

The Teflon PM

There was the Teflon Don John Gotti now we have Keir Starmer the Teflon PM.

There was the Teflon Don John Gotti now we have Keir Starmer the Teflon PM. Nothing sticks to Teflon and the PM is no different. It’s been discovered that Peter Mendleson was deemed a security risk and the PM states he had no clue. Now its called the Mandelson vetting row.

Keir Starmer has been in the house of commons stating weeks ago he had no Idea Peter Mandelson was a risk. But now this week it has come to light that someone in the foreign office knew he was a risk and the PM says he was not told.

He spent hours apologising to the commons and the public a few weeks ago. The Teflon PM would not even answer any questions at PMQ’s to the leader of the opposition about Mandleson. Kemi had 6 questions 4 weeks ago and got 6 diverted answers. Is that a guilty man not answering the questions?

What did he know? Did he mislead MP’s and the public. Headlines like the PM is furious. What is he furious about, that no one believes him. Do you believe him. His sweet-talking barristers lingo gets him by but maybe not this time.

It’s always someone else’s fault not his. He wants us to believe he never asked about Mandelson. We need transparency and people knew he was a risk and maybe the PM did. If its incompetent what’s the PM doing that’s incompetent too.

Most people now are calling for the PM’s head especially the Conservatives and the Lib Dems.

Political Parties At War

It’s ok and standard for political parties to disagree and bicker.

It’s ok and standard for political parties to disagree and bicker. But during the last 2 years, we seem to have found that the level of intensity has risen. Current Commons seats;
403 Labour 116 Conservative 72 Liberal Democrat 13 Independent 9 SNP 8 Reform 7 Sinn Féin 5 DUP 5 Green Party 4 Plaid Cymru 8 Others
It’s obvious Labour can do some bullying with that number of MPs to call on. We have squabbling between parties, too. Keir Stamer loves throwing insults and stats at Reform, but do you know why?

They are the up-and-coming party in the polls, so anything that’s a threat to him has to be belittled. He uses words like right wing to describe reform because they threaten to put right what he cannot. Smash the gangs now, that’s the joke of 2025.

With Keir Starmer being elected to power in 2024, he seems to be clutching at a rattle like a baby keeping power as the PM. The Labour Left fails to realise the Labour Party is maybe more right than they think. Labour currently has 403 seats, which dominates the House of Commons.

But the problem is the PM uses anything to knock and call Reform. Even insinuating that Reform is far right. He uses PMQs and his own political party conference to call Reform. This is a 403-seat MP party against an 8-seat MP party. Keir Starmer is an ex-barrister and cannot tell. He wastes people’s time by not answering questions and promising things he cannot keep. Have a think, everyone, what has he done for you?

We then come to the Conservatives, who lost 253 seats in 2024, and are now left with 116 MPs. The problem is the UK pubic realise what damage they did and how much worse off they were. These days, their leader, Kemi Badenoch, is trying to rescue a party that’s hated. She seems to be doing a good job and has leadership qualities, but people remember austerity. The odd comment about reform, but not often.

She is so confident about her policies, which is good. She can be a little sharp-tempered sometimes. But taking a chance of another Conservative government may not be worth it. Does Kemi beat Angela Rainer? Absolutely, maybe Kemi should move to Labour and fill the boots of Keir Starmer when he goes soon.

With 8 MP’s, Reform are a small new party, and the leader is Nigel Farage. They have a few elected MP’s and a couple of defectors. They have been spreading their policies out for a while now, and most of them are about all the things the Prime Minister will not address. As we are not going into policies, Reform believes that too much money is wasted and can put money back in the UK’s pocket. Its immigration policies are also strong. All other parties call Reform far right, but perhaps they want a lesson in what far right means.

Reform these days is firing back and making comments about the other parties. You cannot blame them. Why shouldn’t they? But it’s sad when they asked a perfectly important question in PMQs and were not given an answer by the PM. Labour is worried about Reform because it is at the top of the polls. An 8 MP party worries a 403-seated party, and it shows they are a threat.

Sir Ed Davey and the Lib Dems have 72 MPs in their party. This party in the past sold out to the conservatives, and at the next election, Nick Clegg paid the price. This is another party, like Labour, that uses any prime time to call for reform. Have they no good policies to chat about? Or are they here just to bicker with other parties? We do not have much to say, but watch at PMQs and the news on how he uses his important time, and maybe diverting from the rotten policies they have.

The Greens are another party to call Reform. This party wants to allow all illegal immigrants to come to the UK. So, guess what? You will be paying for them; crime will go up, so think before you vote for the Greens.

It’s sad how 1 party with 8 MPs must endure comments and the party calling on a daily basis. No one believes Labour with their right-wing shouts. The conservatives are having to look electable, and the Lib Dems just tag onto other parties’ pledges. Only if these parties worked together, how good would that be for the UK?

Uk Military Capability

Allies is a great word for a partnership in business or a military partnership

Allies is a great word for a partnership in business or a military partnership. Looking at history and WW2, our relationship with the US was a solid one. They called it the special relationship between the UK and the USA. We fought side by side in WW2, creating a lasting alliance.

The US and the UK are members of NATO with 30 other countries set up to form allies of countries that look after each other in times of war. But the UK has ruined our special relationship with the US. Can we afford to?

In the 90’s, the Royal Navy in the UK had Around: roughly 120–130 warships. Today (2025–26): about 60–70 ships total (including support vessels). Around 1990 (end of the Cold War): 153,000 regular soldiers. Around 2025 (today): 74,000 regular soldiers (Wikipedia). Everything has halved even in an insecure world.

At the end of Feb 2026, the US decided to remove the nuclear threat from Iran. Bombing Iran with a smaller ally, they asked for help from the UK to land at our bases, saving them a 17-hour flight. This request was denied by the UK Government. This was to our greatest ally and the most powerful nation in the world.

Well, after a week or so, we allowed the Americans to use our bases, but this should have been allowed from the beginning. For an intelligent man, Keir Starmer just does not get it. As we said earlier, we have half the navy and army of the 90’s. Upsetting the special relationship leaves us vulnerable.

The US spends nearly a trillion on defence, but the UK pays out the bare minimum. We have allowed the defence of the UK to come to a second thought. Even the Defence Secretary today could not answer questions on our military stock.

So, what happens if we go to war with, say, Russia? We are covered by NATO, but the US could pull out due to Keir Starmer’s policies of not helping our greatest ally. Could we afford to lose the US as an ally No. As we have seen earlier in this piece, we have nothing but a military token army.

Donald Trump is so unhappy with our PM now that the special relationship looks like it’s in tatters. Deciding if we should have joined the US was the PM’s call; whether he was right or wrong needs debate in time. Finally, the Prime Minister ordered HMS Dragon to leave for Cyprus, which took days for it to sail and another 3 days in the English Channel training. After this fiasco, all our enemies will see we are weak and open. We would have been lucky to win the Falklands War.

Thank goodness for NATO. We would be invaded faster than a rat up a drainpipe. This time, the Government has burned the wrong bridge. Trump says the PM offered help after the war was won.

Yes, Trump has a lack of respect for Keir Starmer, like the rest of the UK. We are wide open and in a state of regret for not keeping an army.
